Dear community

 

We have officially submitted the I-130 and couldn't be happier with the submission thanks to this community's help. I received a receipt from USCIS and my credit card has been charged. From what I've heard we just wait for about a year from now to start the next step? How long is the process between I-130 approval and the interview?

 

Kind regards

so in total from the start of our I-130 submission to the completion of the interview we can be looking at around 24-36 months?

I130 filing to interview could be within 12-24 months or more. Welcome to the latest crazy times.

I see that your I-130 was approved 2 months after you sent it. However, by the time your spouse entered the USA it took about 2 years. I notice that there was a huge gap between the completed case and the interview. Can you help put things into perspective for me. As I am not sure what to make of the timeframes.

Processing times from 2015 are not relevant to your current process.

 

Once you have the receipt notice (I-797), you will be able to look up current processing times on USCIS.gov for the service center where your petition will be adjudicated.

 

For the best help and info here, please do a timeline.  Actual visa timeframes vary greatly by consulate.
